So do other states that deny/limit hunting opportunities for non-residents (e.g., Tennessee and elk, Florida and public land Osceola draw hunts) not use federal dollars to support their elk/turkey hunting endeavors? I know that some areas in Illinois limit the number of non-residents that can hunt on certain public land tracts, but place no similar restrictions on residents during the same time period.
Should non-residents be eligible to hunt, sure, should limits and/or preferences be given to residents ... maybe.
